I'll be the voice of dissent. I'm not going to go as far as to say that I loved it, but I did like it. Cinema verite style. The way I watched it was that it wasn't really about diving, it was about the nature of relationships and how very delicate that can be. I left the theater...

The LDS I visit does talk smack occasionally about some of the other nearby shops... but I've found, on my own, that all the beef they've got is legitimate. The one shop I've heard badmoufed the most (and never to prospective customers, usually just when the regulars are around or over...

First I have to vent: A friend of mine has just started diving and is starting to collect his gear. I sold him my old BC (after making the BP/W move) and a bunch of us chipped in to get him a reg for Christmas. Yes, we got it from LP. Then he goes ahead and orders himself an octo (yes...

Is a DIN o-ring the same size as a K-valve o-ring? I'm wondering because I've had my reg serviced and now, all the sudden, when I screw my reg down, pressurize it, depressurize it, and take it off: the o-ring comes unseated and stays down in the DIN recepticle and the reg comes out...

Is there some reason my question about a yoke/DIN conversion on a Mark 25 was deleted? It's been a few days since I've been able to check the board and today, hoping for an answer, I find the thread completely gone. Did people start arguing DIR under my question or something? My original...

Where to go? What are the conditions typically like this time of year?

I carry two computers on every dive. I haven't looked at tables in about a year.

So this weekend is the last that the quarry is open for the season... and I forgot, up until about 10 minutes ago, that my idiot coworker is going out of town for the weekend, which means I'm on call this weekend. So no diving for me. I hate that guy. I need suggestions (affordable...

Wasn't sure quite where to post this, so I reckon I'll go for the broad audience... Getting ready for a ski trip and I get to wondering... should I bring my Andy's jumpsuit drysuit underwear for the slopes? It seems like it should be the perfect garment. Or it could get me ridiculously...

I'm confused. Are you suggesting that I run a search for an answer before starting a new thread as I did? Or are you suggesting that I go back and read every single thread on a topic, in case the five or six search parameters I tried didn't catch what I was looking for? This is probably...

The nuts that keep the manifold from rotating. Yes? No? Why? Why not?

A little bit of both, at least with Nekton it was. You're treated like and you eat as though you're at a nice hotel... but you never wear shoes and everything smells slightly dank (you are living at sea for the week, after all). Inarguably luxurious, though.

Was on the Nekton Rorqual just a few months ago. Same experience as Knavey: it was awesome. Typical schedule everyday: 07:00 - wake up call 07:30 - breakfast 08:30 - dive briefing and first dive 10:00 - snacks 11:00 - second dive 12:30 - lunch 13:30 - third dive 15:00 - snacks 16:30...

Personally, I switch to my back up computer. Both fail... same as if a backup depth gauge or watch failed... dive is over. As for planning the dive? My computers have this groovy plan feature where it'll tell me my max bottom time at any single depth or -- and this has proved mostly just...

Wireless AI makes me antsy and I would have analog pressure gauges as back up. Not like it would double the price, but it's alot more stuff. If I'm going to be switching between gases, I figure I'ma know exactly how much gas I'll likely use out of each tank at each depth, having figured out...

Suunto D9 Scuba Dive Computer.... Oh HELL yeah! http://www.snorkkeli.net/upload/D9_trans_big.jpg Not saying I'd ever get one, for a variety of reasons. I'm just saying... it is damn sexy.

Matt... He's still doing it, though it may be a couple of weeks late now. Who dis?

Yep. Far more than my new wife is comfortable with.

I was 'sposed to head down to High Springs for Intro class next weekend. Not looking good. And that pisses me off. Hurricanes are stupid. (Of course, I don't have all that much *****ing room, considering some people are going to spend potentially years arguing with insurance...

El Morro. According to both the "linear distance from the entrance" and the "daylight zone" definitions of cave vs. cavern El Morro is two caverns connected by a small (there's about 2 cubic feet where you can't see either entrance) cave zone. It's like a really big swim through. Since it's...
